DRIVER SUPPORT

City Safety and delayed evasive
maneuvers
City Safety can assist the driver by automatically
braking the vehicle when it is not possible to
avoid a collision by steering alone.
City Safety assists the driver by periodically
attempting to predict possible "escape routes" to
the sides of the vehicle in the event a slow-mov-
ing or stationary vehicle were to be detected at a
late stage.
Your vehicle (1) cannot detect any potential escape
routes for veering away from the vehicle ahead (2) and
may therefore apply the brakes at an earlier stage.
Own vehicle
Slow-moving/stationary vehicles
City Safety will not intervene to automatically
apply the brakes if it is possible for the driver to
avoid a collision by steering the vehicle.
However, if City Safety determines that an eva-
sive maneuver would not be possible due to traf-
fic in the adjacent lane(s), the function can assist
the driver by automatically starting to apply the
brakes at an earlier stage.
WARNING
•
The possibility of City Safety predicting a
certain situation is supplementary driver
support intended to improve driving safety
– it cannot handle all situations in all traf-
fic, weather and road conditions.
•
City Safety is not a substitute for the driv-
er's attention and judgment. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring the vehi-
cle is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and regula-
tions.
Limitations of City Safety during evasive
maneuvers
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's combined
camera and radar unit, which has certain gen-
eral limitations; see sections "Camera limita-
tions" and "Radar sensor limitations".
